I am looking for advice on how to use iPad apps to create iPad books ......  Please expand your experiences and knowledge

Hmm,
I have not bought pages yet... Can I use pages on iPad to 'rough draft' my ebook with things like text and images and then use them when I buy pages for os x on my iMac?
Your answer was very very helpful.. All I have  at the moment is an iPad.

  • Pages for iPad and Mac Book Pro

    I bought Pages for my iPad. Can I now load it to my Mac Book Pro?

    Sorry, no. They are different version for different operating system, and will need to be purchased separately.

  • I created a document in Pages. How can I get it published in a book format?

    Looking to get my document formated into book form. Pictures and text have been created in Pages. Any advice in how to create a book from this document?

    Speak to either your printer or publisher. Ask what their requirements are.
    I think neither will be happy with Pages documents.
    Exported .pdfs from Pages are not suitable for commercial output either.

  • I'm creating a book format in Pages. I want the page count to be 1 on the first page of chapter one after the title page, table of contents, etc.. How do I do that?

    That is not the issue.
    Pages/OSX does not save files with crop marks and bleeds.
    It also by default saves transparency, which is involved in a lot of Pages' better features, at a rubbishy 72 dpi resolution.
    It also makes it extremely difficult to maintain mono-color like black only text, has no spot color and makes color management opaque.
    It really is only meant for amateur publishing and printing to your desktop printer.
    A commercial printer who is willing to use and print from Pages may have better results but at the cost of considerable micro-management which defeats the point of this "cheap" solution.

  • When I publish from ibooks author will the pages flip like my other books

    When I publish from ibooks author will the pages flip like my other books the preview only slides side to side

    Pages continue to slide rather than flip for the horizontal orientation.  In the vertical orientation, the text scrolls up-and-down like a web page (again as shown in iBooks Author if you change the previewed orientation).  I'm not sure why Apple went with the different GUI for their textbooks, but its the same for the ones authored by the big publishers.  If you want to see what the format is like on the iPad, there's a short free textbook (Wilson's Life on Earth) and sample chapters from others available from the iBookstore.
    On a side note, one interesting thing about using texts in the two different orientations is that the formating changes as well.  Figures that show up as larger embedded images in the horizontal layout are smaller images in the left margin in the vertical layout, at least in Wilson's book.

  • When I try to open a pages document on my mac book pro it says "The file 'thesis.pages' couldn't be opened." But i can open the same file on my iPad and iPhone without a problem.

    When I try to open a pages document on my mac book pro it says "The file 'thesis.pages' couldn't be opened." But i can open the same file on my iPad and iPhone without a problem.

    Thanks very much for the instructions.  I encountered this problem this morning myself and the recommendation fixed the problem immediately.  When things like this happen with iCloud and Pages it makes me wonder if I might be better off using something else, having just recently had to fix the problem that the current Pages can't read documents I created with a much earlier version until they were "upgraded" by an interim version.

  • How Do I edit/create customised page formats in Lightroom 4 Book module?

    Better still, how can I import page formats already created in Blurb's BookSmart program?

    You are not doing anything wrong - except to try this in the Lr Book Module.
    The Lr Book Module is not a full fledged book layout program, and many things that you expect for a book layout program can't be done.
    I would not be so "picky" as to wanting to avoid any up- or downsampling.
    But if you absolutely have to, use Blurb Booksmart or Adobe InDesign to do this. In Blurb Booksmart you can design an image box to exact dimensions in inches.
    In Lr you cannot do this, a feature that many users want but it seems that Adobe is adamant that templates is the way to go. Lr 5 beta has not changed this.
    You can download Blurb Booksmart free of charge from Blurb's website. You will like the freedom of page design that Booksmart offers.
    Disadvantages: Your workflow is more complicated than using the Book Module in Lr. And you are bound to print with Blurb.
    With Booksmart you have to export the images from Lr to a specific folder from which Booksmart loads the images. But every time you change an image in Lr you have to export it again and load it again in Booksmart.
    If you also use the Blurb plug-in for Lr you can create a Blurb Publish Service. Changes to an image that has already been published have to be re-published in Lr but the changes will "carry through" into the book automatically.
    Finally, I question whether you can actually test the size of an image in the Lr Book Module by printing the page with your printer. There are reports on this forum that the printed image size is not exactly as shown in the Lr Print Module. I have observed this too with my printer. Mostly the printed image is about 1/8 of an inch larger than in the Lr Print Module. The reason might lie in how the printer translates pixels into ink droplets - just a guess of mine.

  • How do you highlight text in Pages for iPad? The document I want to create and highlight is a pages document

    I am trying to create a document in Pages for iPad and want to highlight various bits of text but can not find a function in the inspector for this. Can anyone help,please?

    Hi stuartdj,
    I'm not finding a way to highlight text as one can do with iBooks (hold and swipe for black text, background yellow for example).
    One option is to actually color the text itself.
    Select the text, then in Style tools, tap the Font name at the top which shows the Text Options sheet where there is a Color option.  Would changing the font color to Red, Green or Purple accomplish your goals?
    If you do want black text on a colored background (highlighted) it would need to be text in a text box where you can change the fill (background) color.  Style, Style Options, Fill.  But this is not inline text and doesn't flow like just coloring the font itself.

  • After upgrading to IOS 5 on my iPad only some books in iBooks show content. They were fine before the upgrade. I made a new version in Pages and reinstalled them on the iPad. Still nothing. What is the fix?

    I just got the iBooks update and that fixed the problem, except the book covers look like they were done in a government printing office.

  • How do I create a new paragraph Style in Pages for iPad?

    I opened an RTF document in iOS 6 Pages for iPad. How do I create new paragraph Syles?

    Style is a function of the template applied to the document (and/or the limited number built in to Pages). You can mofify the text or apply one of the built in styles, but I do not beleive within Pages in iOS you can create a new style.

  • I created a book at the Ibooks author. But there are pages where the number of the page does not appear. How I can solve this problem? I thank you very much for any tip.

    I created a book at the Ibooks author. But there are some pages which the number of page is not visible. What can I do to see the number of the page?

    Have you changed the template?
    Some pages may not have numbers in place as default.  If you have changed the page or the template page, you may have added a object which as pushed the number out of view, or an image may be in a layer on top of the text.
    If you select one object on the page...then go to Edit, select all, you should see the outlines of any content no matter that content may not be seen. Look at the bottom for a page width rectangle outline.. IF its there, you need to shuffle the content until you find that box, and use Arrange > bring to front.

  • How do I create a hyperlink in Pages for iPad?

    In Pages for Mac, or Word, I can easily create a hyperlink "under" a word or phrase.
    So far, I've been unable to do the same in Pages for iPad.
    Is it me or the iPad?

  • How to integrate address book in Pages for iPad?

    In Pages for Mac, I could drag Address Book entries directly into Pages to automatically populate Name and Address placeholders.
    How do I do that in Pages for iPad?
    Currently, iOS Pages does not pull my details (name & address) automatically into letter templates either, as is the case with Mac Pages.

    I have the same problem / need.
    Does anybody know if there is any sort of integration of iOS pages with Contacts in iPad / iPhone?

    I guess that we could ask that question about a few different things Apple related.
    I'm glad that you got the hang of it.

  • HT1040 I created a book, but in adding pages, somehow, the back cover and flap have now become pages, and there aren't and layouts now for the flap or back cover.  How can I fix this?

    I created a book in iphoto, and in the adding and deleting of pages, somehow the back flap and back cover are now showing as a page layout, and there isn't a back flap/cover anymore, and I can't seem to add it.  I have spend hours on this project, is there a way to fix this without having to start all over?
